real and fake

that night, I lied my head down and just like that, I was in the white room once again. I forcibly looked to the right and there was Alyssa, lying about 4 feet away from me. Mr. Folger was about 4 feet away from me too whenever I was forced to look to the left. then I looked straight up again. just like every other night...

flash forward to a few months later and I decided I was gonna talk to Mr. Folger and Alyssa about the stuff. all of it. I chold not keep it a hidden quiet secret any longer. I knew they were experiencing it too. so 1 day after school, I decided to go to Mr. Folgers classroom. "hey Oliver what's up??" I just stared at him wit my mouth slightly agape and a weird sort of smile on my face. he started to look awkward and a little uncomfortable.  he looked behind him to see if I was staring at something but I wasn't. I decided enough was enough so I said, "do you remember me??" "what are you talking about?? I have you in class every day." "no ! I mean, before this year." "no? have you been in my class before this year??" Mr. Folger looked confused. "ok?? have you seen me at the store or something??" I shook my head starting to get frustrated. "no ! I know you from somewhere that is not...here." mr. Folger said "I'm sorry I don't know what your talking about. "STOP FUCKING LYING!" I screamed, all patience gone and completely out of control at this point. Mr. Folger looked kinda shocked. "w-wha Oliver please calm down ok? enough yelling and swearing! "NO I WONT! ALYSSA WAS THE SAME DAMN WAY WHENEVER I TRIED TALKING TO HER AND YOU GUYS REALLY DONT HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT AND LIE TO ME LIKE WHAT ARE YOU HIDING HM?! I KNOW YOU SEE THE FLOATING GLOWING RAMP OVER THE OCEAN A-AND THE FINGERS!" Mr. Folger just looked so scared and now I was starting to draw attention to myself but I kept on going on and on about cloning and protective peach fabric and time loops. eventually, I grabbed the scissors on his desk and said demandingly, "who do you work for?!" Mr. Folger put his hands in the air absolutely petrified. "I-im just a teacher. only that and nothing more!" he pleaded
